Leaky tap?

[Dmalinks]

I own a haier kegerator and it works okay but the darn think leaks whenever we turn it on. I turn the co2 on and I open the tap and when I try and shut it it just drips. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is my tap broken? Also I have problems when i turn the co2 on. Right when i turn it on the pressure skyrockets sometimes and its difficult to control it within the range of 8-16 psi. There are prolly simple solutions to this but I just dont know them. If anyone can help I'd definitely appreciate it!

Have you pulled the tap apart and checked the connections and O-rings? The O-rings may have dry rotted which will lead to leaks.

I checked the seals and they seem to be fine. Its just a slow drip from the tap. I feel like the seal in the tap might not be tight...I dont know what to do.

Your faucet is more than likely just fine. Sometimes the seals can look great, but they are not. If you have not dropped or bent your faucet, it could only be the gaskets. It would cost you only a few bucks at most to get all of the gaskets replaced.

On the top faucet head just below where the taphandle screws in the metal part is adjustable you may have it too tight or too loose to fully close, experiment with that a little bit.

Your issue with the gas, you make it seem like you are turning you gas on and off on a regular basis. You shouldn't do that, just leave it on.
